Vlad 
Wife Julia & son Danny 
moved in Pensacola 
November 2023
For 
Missions to Ukrainians in Pensacola and Florida. 

Vlad & Julia started with other Christian Ukrainian Couple 
Bible Study & Prayer Meetings weekly in thier apartment.

During these 2 and half years Vlad & Julia were connecting with Ukrainians & Slavics in Pensacola for individual meetings to become friends, to help & care to them, to do Biblical Counseling. Those meetings led to relationship for making first Gathering Fellowship Event.

During these years we did 20 Evangelistic Events, which we do on Special Dates like - Thanx giving, Christmas, New Year, Easter, Independence Day, other occasions. Attendance was around 70 people, who heard Messages about Christ, to whom we gifted New Testaments. After Evangelism Events  Vlad & Julia Followed up by weekly personal meeting for fellowship, help & care, Biblical Counseling and of course Sharing Gospel.

Since then and during that time 
their Missions Ministry became -

Julia - 

Weekly Personal meetings with ladies for help & care to them - through Biblical Counseling, taking to translation at doctors appointments, helping them to go though cultural shock and adjust in new culture and life, helping with food and necessary things for their families and kids.

As well Julia initiated / started Ladies Bible Study / Fellowship / Prayer Meetings 
about once a month 

Vlad - 

Weekly Personal meetings with men for help & care to them - through Biblical Counseling, helping them to go though cultural shock and adjust in new culture and life.

As well, Vlad initiated / started Men  Bible Study / Fellowship / Prayer Meetings 
about once a week.

Danny, 15 yrs old son, is very active in Vlad & Julia Missions by - all kinds of helps & assistance, technical and computer, playing guitar & sings.

For 6 months we did English Club - teaching English using New Testament as Text Book.

Last year we had Sunday Regular Meetings 
  as informal Sunday Worship Services, which between 5 to 12 attended on average. Some got saved and even were baptized in other churches where they moved, because Refugees we Ministered they migrate very much to other bigger and more industrial cities for jobs, housing, medical benefits, ect...

Now almost all people we got to know and Ministered had to move to other cities, some went to Europe. They were temporarily Refugees. 

We became Friends with Slavics Churches in Fort Walton, Atlanta Georgia and partner with them in Missions. 

As well we established contact with Believers groups in Memphis and Pennsylvania for helping them to Plant Churches. 

We started Online and Chats Counseling Ministry and once a month Online Services in Ukraine to Ukrainians - Julia  does to Ladies, I do to men.

Since we Minister to Refugees and they are very specific and not stable group of people due to their circumstances and jobs, we cannot expect classical Church Growth and Establishment because they migrate very much, and now most moved due to documents and circumstances. But Gospel we have shared to them stays with them, we hear stories how some got saved and baptized in other cities or countries. Our Ministry and Specifics of  Group we Minister to is like Book of Acts - Not Stable in one Location and Very much Migrating. 

Now we Praying and Working on Establish Contacts and Partner with Ukrainians Groups in other places where they moved to use our knowledge, experience we gained to help other Believers Groups to do Evangelisms, Missions, Church Planting in those Cities and States where Ukrainians and Slavics move in our days.
